Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford’s superb run of form continued as he netted a goal in each half of his side’s 3-0 Premier League win over Leicester City to extend his scoring streak to five games.

Leicester were left to rue wasteful early finishing when Rashford latched onto a pass down the right from Bruno Fernandes and rifled the ball across keeper Danny Ward and into the net after 25 minutes at Old Trafford.

Rashford bagged his second in the 56th minute, cutting in from the left and tearing into the box before guiding the ball home to register his 14th league goal of the season and his 25th in all competitions.

Substitute Jadon Sancho added a brilliant third five minutes later when Lisandro Martinez won the ball in midfield to allow Rashford to feed Sancho, who played a quick exchange of passes with Fernandes before drilling home.

Dalot makes a vital interception at the back to prevent Maddison from releasing Barnes in space. The Portuguese had to make that challenge.

Leicester are all over United and not giving them any breathing space at the back. The Foxes need to make this pressure count.

WHAT A SAVE! De Gea denies Iheanacho with a brilliant stop. Castagne is afforded space and time down the right flank to deliver a cross into the box. Iheanacho directs a header low towards the bottom-left corner, but De Gea somehow gets a hand to it to push the ball away.

CLOSE! Tete surges down the right flank and he cuts back on to his left foot to hammer a strike towards goal. It zips away from Barnes at the back post and agonisingly wide of the target.

Souttar rises highest from the resulting corner, but cannot make clean contact with his header and Dewsbury-Hall is then penalised for handball.

Fred has to get back to make a vital clearance behind to steer Tete's cross away from Maddison lurking the back post.
